FAQs
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to the fabric technology used, indicating a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and good breathability, suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. It offers minimal insulation and is best suited for mild to cool weather or as an outer shell over warmer layers in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colours using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry.
Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the jacket features a unisex design and is suitable for children regardless of gender.
How small does the jacket pack down?
The jacket packs into its own integrated stuff sack, becoming very compact, making it easy to fit into a school bag, backpack, or even a large pocket.

Is the material environmentally friendly?
The product description does not specify eco-friendly materials. For detailed information on sustainability, consult the official Regatta website or product tags.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Reapply a water-repellent finish according to the product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.
This can occur due to a lack of breathability. Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath and consider washing with a specific technical wash to restore fabric performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught. You can apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Packaway feature is difficult to use.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold the jacket neatly following the internal creases, then tuck it into the designated stuff sack.
